Officials Announce Flood Watch

There is a Flood Watch in effect for Johnson County through Sunday afternoon for streams and creeks along the central Bighorn Mountains, according to information released by Johnson County's Information Officer Marcy Schueler.

A Flood Watch means that flooding is possible within the watch area.

In the release, Schueler said Clear Creek has the potential to reach minor flooding stage by tomorrow (Monday) morning.
Rock Creek is at bank full stage, as is Piney Creek.
Middle Fork and North Fork of the Powder River are currently below flooding stage.

Connolly also recommended people stay away from the streams as they are running fast and high. Some of the streams are bank full.
She asked if anyone sees flooding, to please contact the Johnson County Sheriff's Office at 684-5581 and/or Emergency Management at 217-1879.
